DeepSORT - Deep Learning applied to Object Tracking

Image
Introduction So in this article, Im going to give to you a clear and simple explanation on how Deep SORT works and why its so amazing compared to other models like Tracktor++, Track-RCNN and JDE. But to understand how DeepSORT works, we first have to go back, waaay back and understand the fundamentals of object tracking and the key innovations that had to happen along the way, for DeepSORT to emerge. Before we get started, if you are interested in developing object tracking apps, then checkout my course in the link down below, where I show you how you can fuse the popular YOLOv4 with DeepSORT for robust and real-time applications. Okay so back to Object Tracking. Now lets imagine that you that you are working for Space X, and Mr. Musk has tasked you with ensuring that on launch, the ground camera is always pointing at the Falcon 9 as it thrust into the atmosphere. As much as you are excited to be personally chosen by Elon to work on this task you ask yourself, “How will I go about th

Samsung’s UWB-Based Augmented Reality

Image
The new flagship Galaxy Note 20 Ultra launched by Samsung is its first handheld mobile device that uses Ultra WideBand (UWB) technology [1] . This technology was first introduced to the world by Apple with the offering being made publicly available in its iPhone 11. New Samsung Note 20 Ultra The New Tech The new technology is going to power Google’s new feature for Nearby Share, allowing for detections of the similar devices in your immediate vicinity, helping in faster sharing and better connectivity in a smaller area. Making the Augmented World Real The main focus around the technology, however, is to ultimately be able to support the Augmented Reality [2] features or even allow the mobile device to act as a digital key [3] for a connected smart house, where it will be able to sense when you are approaching the door and can just autonomously unlock the same. UWB-based AR, used to locate UWB capable devices. Major supporting factors for AR: UWB based chip gives the wireless file tra

OpenCV AI Kit - Interview with CEO Brandon Gilles

Im not sure if you have heard about the OpenCV AI Kit or OAK devices that have taken Kickstarter by storm! We'll if not these kits have achieved over $700'000 on Kickstarter which is phenomenal considering their original $20'000 goal. YOLOv4 AI Course - https://augmentedstartups.info/yolov4release OpenCV AI Kits - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/opencv/opencv-ai-kit To learn why these kits are so amazing, I got onto an interview the the CEO of Luxonis Brandon Gilles. Interview with Brandon Gilles - CEO of Luxonis and Creator of the OpenCV AI Kit Ritesh - Hi to Brandon and welcome to the Augmented Startups Virtual Studio! Brandon - My pleasure to be here. Ritesh - Q1. So Brandon, tell us a bit about yourself, what do you do? Brandon - I’m the founder and CEO of Luxonis and the Chief Architect of the OpenCV AI Kit. Ritesh - Q2. How did you get started in this space, after you’ve graduated from University, what was your journey like up until this point? Brand
